Sincerely, Mark I just use the method on the hints and tips on the WnW website Spray base coat of either XF78 Deck tan, for light wood or XF79 Deck brown for dark wood Squeeze blob of burnt umber oils and add thinners with brush with this model i brushed it on quiet thin so there is not much wood graining effect, my last model was ZM Horten where i went heavier and created wood grains with wider brush and thicker dark umber mix Before the oil had fully dried i highlighted joins and rivits with Tamiya panel line wash, then blended the wash with stiff brush, so it blends with the oils, highlighting the features What i did do was watch every youtube i could find, and every tutorial out there. But there is not better teacher than having a go, I would do the Horten completly different now just based on experiance of the Felixstowe To be honest I still have no idea how to simulate the mahogany wood on the Felix, but WnW gives extra side panels so i can practice practice practice Hope this helps get you started Alain Gadbois, kkarlsen, D.B.

Robthepom Posted January 26, 2019 Author Posted January 26, 2019 There are 4 rigging wires over the top of the cockpit, so i thought I'd make my own eyelets, 4 done in not bad time, but i have this felixstowe an Fe and a W12 in my stash, so i ordered 6 packs of bobs buckles and some tube, great price, thanks bob My attempts are a bit chunky but wont be seen anyway, I need Bobs perfect ones for the show areas D.B.

Robthepom Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 The interior was finished last night, i hevent fitted the seat belts because i want to try and find pilot figures I've decided to paint the inside walls basically so i can get more practice with my new airbrush LSP_Kevin, Fanes, BradG and 5 others 8
Robthepom Posted January 27, 2019 Author Posted January 27, 2019 Having spent the evening trying to fit the halves tightly together, i have decided not to paint the inside walls
